Bank Indonesia plays an important role in the national economy and since 2005, Bank Indonesia (BI) has consistently helped resolve domestic socioeconomic issues. Bank Indonesia programs focus on strengthening the household economy through empowerment, training and education, combined with other social supports. In the education field, Bank Indonesia is especially concerned with enhancing the quality and the competitiveness of the young generation, including supporting educational programs, facilities and scholarship programs as a form of dedication to the nation.
